Sail Onboard Star Flyer

Star Flyer is a true clipper ship, reflecting its proud heritage in every inch of polished brass and gleaming brightwork. Step aboard and discover a new age of sail, where the traditions of the past are happily married to modern comforts. At 115 metres long, Star Flyer carries just 166 guests in relaxed, yacht-like style.

Expansive teak decks offer more outdoor space per passenger than most conventional cruise ships, with two swimming pools, open-seating dining, a Tropical Bar, Piano Bar, and an Edwardian-style library. The décor evokes the grand age of sail with antique prints, paintings, and gleaming mahogany rails.

Day 3 Athens Delphi Athens

Today, enjoy a full day excursion to Delphi, probably the ancient worlds most famous oracle.

Delphi is approximately two and a half hours from Athens. We will follow the national road north through the plains of Beotia and pass outside the town of Thebes. As we close in to our destination, the mountain of Parnassos towers over us. The site is at the foot of the mountain; the Pan-Hellenic sanctuary of Delphi, here we start our walk. Passing by the Castalia Spring we will visit the archaeological site and view the monument of the Argive Kings, the treasury of the Athenians, the Athenian Stoa, the Polygonal Wall, the monument of Platea and the Temple of Apollo. The site is very large and there is a lot to see including the famous oracle where in ancient times people believed they would learn what their future held.

Enjoy the views from the site, they are incredible – the setting is so impressive that in ancient times it was considered the navel of the world. After our walk around the site we will visit the museum. The Delphi museum has spectacular exhibits including the frieze of the Treasury of the Sifnians, the Naxian Sphinx, the Statue of Antinoos the metopes of the Athenian treasury and the famous bronze Charioteer. It is well worth visiting the museum as the exhibits complement what we saw at the site and allow us to get a better understanding of the role Delphi played in antiquity.

A short drive to our next stop for lunch; we will taste regional products and experience original Greek cuisine.

Overnight stay in Athens in a 3* hotel.

After a brief stop we will continue towards Mycenae; one of the most important cities of ancient Greece. We will walk under the famous Lion gate up to the Mycenaean acropolis and the Palace. We will see the tomb of Agamemnon and the ruins of the Cyclopean walls that protected this mighty city.

A short drive to our next stop for lunch; we will taste regional products and experience original Greek cuisine. A highlight of the tour is our stop at the port town of Nafplio, one of the most historic and beautiful port towns of Greece.
